“The aim of the Gilead Italia calls is to create a valuable public-private partnership model, supporting both research and social-welfare projects in the Third sector.. We are deeply convinced that we can make an important contribution to improving the quality of life of patients. By doing so, we also hope to promote the right to health, which must be a universal right. “Thus Cristina Le Graziemedical director of Gilead Sciences Italia, today in Milan on the sidelines of the awards ceremony of the 11th edition of the Gilead Italia calls: 63 winners, including researchers and patient associations, to whom a total of over 1 million euros goes.
“It is important to make research inclusive, and I am referring above all to women and young people, because inclusion, perhaps one of the most current issues in our society, is a great resource in the world of research – added Le Grazie – However, inclusion must not only be addressed to the actors of the world of research, in fact we think that even the same research must address the most fragile populations. This, in our opinion, is what can make the impossible possible, what can make it possible to reach goals that have not been possible up to now “.
“In 11 years of Gilead Italia tenders – concluded Le Grazie – aWe have awarded and supported around 400 research projects and more than 150 projects of a social assistance nature. For this purpose, we have made € 14 million available. Maybe they will be a drop in the bucket, but we hope to have managed, at least in some cases, to ensure that projects, people and realities could continue their journey in Italy, without having to go abroad “.
